How do I manage cookies on my computer?



Accepting or deleting cookies in your Web browser

Each type of Web browser has its own way of managing cookies. The information below provides instructions for managing cookies on the browsers listed below. To enjoy Gumtree features properly, check that your Web browser is set up to accept cookies. Be familiar with how your Web browser manages cookies, including how to delete cookies

Deleting cookies

Most cookies are session cookies that are automatically deleted from your hard drive once you end your session (that is, once you sign out or close your browser window). Some cookies allow web sites to identify you when you return. Without the cookie file, web sites you visit like Gumtree will treat you as a new user each time you return.
